Morality and emotions are linked, but what is the nature of their correspondence? Many "whole number" accounts posit specific correspondences between moral content and discrete emotions, such that harm is linked to anger, and purity is linked to disgust. A review of the literature provides little support for these specific morality-emotion links. Moreover, any apparent specificity may arise from global features shared between morality and emotion, such as affect and conceptual content. These findings are consistent with a constructionist perspective of the mind, which argues against a whole number of discrete and domain-specific mental mechanisms underlying morality and emotion. Instead, constructionism emphasizes the flexible combination of basic and domain-general ingredients such as core affect and conceptualization in creating the experience of moral judgments and discrete emotions. The implications of constructionism in moral psychology are discussed, and we propose an experimental framework for rigorously testing morality-emotion links.

建构主义对道德和情感的评论：没有证据表明道德内容和离散情感之间存在特定的联系。

道德和情感是联系在一起的，但是它们对应的本质是什么？许多“整数”说明在道德内容和离散情绪之间存在特定的对应关系，例如，伤害与愤怒联系在一起，而纯洁与厌恶联系在一起。文献综述几乎没有为这些特定的道德-情感联系提供支持。此外，任何明显的特异性都可能源于道德与情感之间共有的全局特征，例如情感和概念内容。这些发现与建构主义的心智观点是一致的，后者反对道德和情感背后的大量离散的和特定领域的心理机制。反而，建构主义强调在创造道德判断和离散情感的体验时，将诸如核心情感和概念化之类的基本成分和领域一般成分灵活地结合在一起。讨论了建构主义在道德心理学中的含义，我们提出了一个严格测试道德与情感联系的实验框架。
